2010 Citroen C3 1.6L Diesel · AX10 DDY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 166,861 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This suggests the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements, showing no evidence of chronic mechanical failure or recurring faults. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. The odometer rose from 150,695 miles in November 2023 to 166,861 miles by November 2025, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year over this period. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has remained in active service rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle with high mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. High mileage Citroens of this era often develop structural rust or suspension wear that may not always be flagged if the defects are not yet critical. A manual check of the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for uneven wear is recommended to ensure basic consumables are up to date. Given the lack of recorded faults, the focus should shift to the service history to verify that timing belts and fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals, as the MOT record alone does not confirm preventative engine maintenance.
